JOSEPH ROY, OF CLEVELAND, OHIO, ASSIGNOR TO AMERICAN STOVE COMPANY, OF ST.

LOUIS, MISSOURI, A CORPORATION OF NEW JERSEY.

s'rovE-nooR.

To all whom, it may concern:

Be it known that I, JosErH ROY, a citizen of the United States, residing at Cleveland, in the county of Cuyahoga and State, of Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Stove-Doors, of which the following is a specification, reference being had therein to the accompanying drawing.

This invention relates to improvements in stove doors, and is especially intended for use on' gas ranges for the oven and broiler compartments.

It is also more particularly intended to be used for that form of door referred to in the trade as drop doors, and its construction is particularly adapted for that useon account of being light and not requiring counter-balancing which is common in drop The object of my invention is to provide a stove door having the novel constructions hereinafter is adapted to carry out the functions and purposes which will be hereinafter set forth.

In the accompanying drawings Figure 1 is a perspective view of my improved door, I oven of a gas stove.

Fig. 2 is a horizontal sectional through the door just above its lower edge.

Fig. 3 is a vertical central sectional view. Fig. 4 is a perspective viewof portions of the three parts, comprising the door, the parts shown in separated relation.

view

Fig. 5 is a detached perspective view of the surrounding angle iron frame.

Fig. 6 is an inside elevation of the door.

Fig. 7 is a view of one of the pivot pins.

essentially composed My improved door is of three parts. An angle iron frame 1, and two telescoping frame 1 is L-shaped in crosssection. The flange a of the angle iron, for

. convenience, will be termed, a longitudinally extending flange, because it extends in the .plane of the door, and the flange b will be termed a transverse flange, because it extends in adirection transverse the plane of the door. 5 is the oven frame to which the door is applied, and the door, asillustrated in Fig. 1, is arranged as a drop door.

The angle iron frame 1 is bent into a U- shape contour, as shown in Fig. 5, and the bending of this angle iron stretches the longitudinally extending flange a at its corners Specification of Letters Patent.

shown and described, whereby it showing it in position on the sheet iron members 3 and 4.

of the flange e of the panel 6, and makes the flange narrower at these points, as shown at c. The ends of the transverse flange b is cut off so that the ends of the flange a extend beyond the ends of the flange b, a distance suflicient to make the doubled ends 7. These doubled ends 7 are rolled around and tightly embrace the pivot pins 8, and the'overlapping portions of the doubled ends 7 are secured together in any suitable manner and, preferably, by the wellknoWn spot welding, which acts and serves the purpose of rivets. vThese elongated doubled ends 7 form a reinforcement when the door is lowered and resting on the lugs 9 of the hinges l0.

The sheetiron members 3 and 4 areeach provided with peripheral inwardly extending flanges d, e, and the members telescopmg each other, as shown in FigsVQ and 3, forming a hollow panel A for the door. These members 3 and 4, after being telescoped, are secured within the frame 1, by passing the .bolts l1 through registering openings 12, 13 and 14 of the flanges b, d and 4 Patented Sept. 2, 1919. Application filed July 7; 1919. Serial No. 309,166.

registering openings in the flanges d and e of the members 3, and 4.

The longitudinally extending flange a serves as an overlapping edge for the openings in the oven frame 5 and the lower edge of the outside member 3 has an inwardly extending L-shaped portion 15, which overlaps the cross strip 16, at the lower edge of the oven door frame 5. From this it will be observed that the longitudinal flange a and the d pending L-shaped portion 15 furnish the door with an overlapping portion extending entirely therearound when the door is closed. For the purpose of enabling the bolts 11 to" be applied, the inner member 4 of the panel A is provided with openings 17, through which the nuts 11' of the bolts may be applied. For the same member 4 is cut away as shown at f, and the tion 15 is cut away as at g to permit access. within the panel A, for applying the nuts 13' of the bolt 13. A suitable handle 18 is attached to the purpose the end L-shaped porflange a of the angle iron 1, and a suitable spring catch 19 projects from the oven frame 5 to engage the edge of the flange a to hold the door in its closedposition.

A door having the foregoing COIlStI'llClZlOIL iio I. is light and when used as a drop door does not require any counter-balancing and yet it is strong 1n construction.

. While the door is especially intended for a drop door, it is capable of being used as a vertical or swinging door.

2. A stove door comprising a panel, an

'Lshaped angle-iron frame surrounding the panel and havlng longltudinal and transverse flanges, the angle-iron bent into a U-'- shaped contour, the ends of the longitudinal flange extending and doubled back into'elongated doubled portions embracing between their ends hinge pins, the double portions serving as reinforcements to abut against stop lugs. s 1

3. A stove door comprising a. panel made up of two'sheet members Withinwardly telescoping flanges forming a hollow panel, an angle-iron frame bent into "a U-shaped contour around the hollow panel, the flanges of the panels and the angle-iron secured together, and the ends of the angle iron provided with hinge members.

4;. A stove door made up of a panel which consists of two sheet members with inwardly extending telescoping flanges, an L-shaped angle iron bent into U-shaped'contour around hinge members and stop lug reinforcements.

5. A stove door-comprising a panel made up of inner and outer sheet members having their sides and tops provided with inwardly extending flanges, and the bottom of the outside member provided with an inwardly and upwardly extending L-shaped portion for the purpose described, the said panel members having their side and top flanges telescoping, and an angle iron bent in U- shaped contour around the top and sides of the panel, the ends of the angle iron provided with hinge members.

- 6. A stove door comprising a panel made up of two members having inwardly extending telescoping flanges,,an L-shaped angle 1ron bent around the panel in a U-shaped contour, the angle iron having longitudinal and transverse flanges, the transverse flange of the angle-iron and the flanges of the panel members having registering bolt receiving openings, bolts passing through the openings, one of the panel members having openings adjacent the bolt-receiving openings to permit access to the bolt nuts, for the purpose described.

In testimony whereof I hereunto aflix my signature. 1
